How much Housing Benefit will I receive?

The amount of Housing Benefit you receive depends on the information you provide us when you make your claim.

You can use our Benefits Calculator to work out a rough estimate of what you are likely to receive.

It is important to tell us as soon as possible if your circumstances change as it may change the amount of benefit you receive. If you don't tell us right away and you receive an overpayment you will have to pay this back.

Similarly your benefit may increase if you circumstances change, so the quicker you tell us the better.
